NAME
     iv_now, iv_validate_now, iv_invalidate_now - ivykis time handling

SYNOPSIS
     #include <iv.h>

     extern struct timespec iv_now;
     void iv_validate_now(void);
     void iv_invalidate_now(void);

DESCRIPTION
     iv_now is a global variable that represents a monotonic timer.

     The  contents  of	iv_now	might  be  stale.  Calling the function iv_vali-
     date_now ensures that the current contents of iv_now are up-to-date.

     The function iv_invalidate_now is called to invalidate the currently cached
     time.  This function should be called after any operation that takes a sig-
     nificant amount of wall clock time.
